Opportunity Zone Oevelopnrent LLC JN 19152 <br />June 6, 2019 Page 2 <br />SUBSURFACE <br />The subsurface conditions were explored by drilling four test borings at the approximate locations <br />shown on the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. Our exploration program was based on the proposed <br />construction, anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered during exploration, and the <br />scope of work outlined in our proposal. <br />The test borings were called on May 16, 2019 using a truck -mounted, hollow -stem auger drill. <br />Samples were taken at approximate 2.5- and 5-foot Intervals with a standard penetration sampler. <br />This split -spoon sampler, which has a 2-inch outside diameter, is driven Into the soil with a 140- <br />pound hammer falling 30 Inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampler a given <br />distance is an Indication of the soil density or consistency. A geotechnical engineer from our staff <br />observed the drilling process, logged the test borings, and obtained representative samples of the <br />soil encountered. The Test Boring Logs are attached as Plates 3 through 6. <br />Soil Conditfons <br />The four test borings conducted on the site encountered relatively Consistent subsurface <br />conditions across the property. Loose to medium -dense, native, slightly silty sand with <br />gravel was encountered directly beneath the asphalt parking lot and crushed rock subgrade. <br />In the northwest comer of the site, 2 feet of gravelly silty sand fill was revealed beneath the <br />ground surface; an old concrete slab was encountered at a depth of 2 teat and the native, <br />loose, slightly silty sand was encountered beneath this slab. The native silty sand then <br />became dense to very dense below depths of 2.5 to 5 feet. The dense to very dense silty <br />sand was deposited and compressed by glaciers thousands of years ago and Is referred to <br />geologically as glacial till. Glacial oulwash soil, Consisting of very dense, poorly -graded, <br />medium -grained, send, was encountered below the glacial till at depths of approximately 15 <br />feet and 26 feet on the eastern and western ends of the site respectively. The glacial <br />oulwash sand extended to the maximum -explored depths of 27.4 to 41.4 feet in all four of <br />our test borings. <br />As discussed above, concrete debits was encountered in the northwest comer of the site. <br />Debts, buried utilities, and old foundation and slab elements are commonly encountered on <br />all that have had previous development. In addition, it should be noted that cobbles or <br />boulders are also often found In the native Solis that have been deposited by glaciers or <br />last -moving water. <br />Groundwater Condttiorrs <br />No groundwater seepage was observed In our recent subsurface explorations. However, <br />the test borings were left open for only a short time period. It should be noted that <br />groundwater levels vary seasonally with rainfall and other factors. <br />The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types at the <br />exploration locations. The actual transition between soll types may be gradual, and subsurface <br />Conditions can vary between exploration locations. The logs provide specific subsurface information <br />only at the locations tested. If a transition in soil type occurred between samples in the borings, the <br />depth of the transition was interpreted. The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated <br />on the test boring logs are Interpretive descriptions based on the conditions observed during <br />drilling. <br />aEOTECH CONBOLTNJrs, INC. <br />
